No... we've seen the Brewers go up 5-1, 5-0, 6-0, etc.... and three innings later, we're losing

Good teams find a way to get a run in from 3rd with less than 2 outs

Yeah, I think I'll stay off the chat board tonight.

So does Chourio get benched for not getting a runner at third base home with less than two outs?

Nope.  That rule only applied to Caleb Durbin for God knows what reason.

Durbin is red hot in the past 15 games, and we're sitting him of course against a weak righty.

I like Perkins defense

Do you want Bauers on this roster?

I think I'd genuinely rather have Luis Urias. Perkins shouldn't ever play in October if Collins, Chourio and Frelick are healthy. 

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Q looks pretty solid early.  Hoping he can keep this up.  When he's on, he's really a valuable asset to this club, especially with Miz and Woody struggling

The team with the best record doesn't, I guess.

Bold strategy walking Turner in front of Schwarber

I sort of get Siegler. He has some versatility and fits the definition of "scrappy" or whatever that the org likes. I don't like it, but I can squint and understand the ABs at the bottom of the roster. I really dislike that he's getting starts over Durbin. I wouldn't do it. At least there's some kind of idea there, though.

The best argument I can make for Bauers is handedness. That's not good enough, and him being up over Hoskins is a mistake.

Aside from that, a good start to this one. Here's to 7 strong from Q and a Braves win too (as I channel my inner treego).

We became the team with the best record because we had months of solid fundamentals during our winning streaks.  Those fundamentals have been missing the past couple weeks

Craigers probably dreams of having a siegler right now

Q meltdown incoming

Relax people - this is an easy win.

Seigler continues to prove he is a liability in the field.  The guy has 68 PA appearances and zero extra base hits... his OPS is .517, which for a poor defender, means you should be playing at AAA.

We have better options both on the Roster and on the 40 man that Seigler

One swing of the bat can make this 5-3 pretty easily

Had em right where he wanted em

🎶but it didn't go that way 🎶

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

I can't think of many pitchers who are perfectly happy throwing 40 percent of their pitches for balls. But Q is one of them.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Siegler is terrible. I hate talking about anyone on this team that way, but he should not be with the major league club right now. There has to be another guy who "hustles" somewhere.

Yes & Yes 💪

Perkins is really go through it right now.  The defense is great but dude needs to figure it out at the plate.

Like I said, I am much closer to this than where the org has landed.

But the guy's getting like 8 ABs a week, right? And I don't think they're bad ABs. He has no power, but he walks, plays a couple positions, and has been a little unlucky. Obviously, I'd rather have Hoskins than Siegler, but we don't three 1B when one of them is Bauers.

End of the day, alls I'm saying is I'd rather defend the Bauers out hill than the Siegler one (though I'd prefer not to have to defend any hill at all).

He's barely above Mendoza I don't think there's anything to figure out. He's a designated outfielder swinging a wet noodle. I don't personally believe that's worth a playoff roster spot.
